Fair TEA ratings neededforpublic school districts

A Travis County judge has temporarily blocked the Texas Education Agency from releasing its new and “unlawful,” A-F 2022–23 school year performance ratings for public schools and districts.

While this provides some relief for districts, the issue is far from resolved. It’s also an issue that should never have arisen.

According to the lawsuit joined by more than 100 school districts across the state, the TEA’s plan would “retroactively change the rules in a way that will arbitrarily lower performance ratings for many school districts and campuses even though their performance improved.”
